A geolocation add-on for [Content Visibility](https://wordpress.org/plugins/content-visibility/).
== Description ==
Content Visibility Geolocation is an add-on for [Content Visibility](https://wordpress.org/plugins/content-visibility/) - a plugin which allows you to decide when, where, and to whom each piece of your content is shown (or hidden!).
The geolocation add-on allows you to show or hide any of your content blocks to users visiting your site from any country of your choosing.
Need to only show a message to folks visiting from Canada 🇨🇦? No problems, eh.
How about showing a banner to your British 🇬🇧 visitors? You got it, guvnor. (I'm a Brit living in Canada ;) )
Note: This uses cookies to help reduce API calls. If that is something you need to tell your users about, please make sure to do just that :)
## Development
Development is mostly done on [github](https://github.com/richardtape/content-visibility-geolocation/issues/new) and releases are made there and here to the WordPress plugins directory.
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= What if someone uses a VPN? =
People can be sneaky. This plugin uses a 3rd party IP-lookup API (which you can self-host should you desire) which gets location data based on the IP Address passed to it. If a user is using a VPN to mask where they are coming from, it is quite likely that the user will see content restricted to the country of their VPN connection.
= Does this store cookies in a user's browser? =
Yes. It does this in order to stop hitting an API for every page load. A cookie is stored for 1 week with information about where the person is visiting from.
= What's with the logo? =
It's a chameleon. A cool little creature which can change the way it appears - to make itself more or less visible. Seemed appropriate! Also, your suspicions are correct; a designer, I am not.
